The 2010 National Swine Nutrition Guide is a practical publication containing nutrient recommendations and feeding guidelines. The guide consists of nutrition factsheets and diet formulation and evaluation software. The guide was written as a collaboration between university swine nutritionists and swine industry specialists.
Diet Formulation and Evaluation Software
The NSNG Diet Formulation and Evaluation CD will perform two distinct functions. You can use it to formulate swine diets on a least‐cost basis or evaluate the nutritional adequacy of existing diets. These functions can be applied to diets for sows, breeding boars, nursery pigs, growing‐finishing pigs and replacement gilts and boars.
